Aguirre's appointment comes after the sacking of Carlos Corberan 10 days ago. During this period, the team's reserve coach, Oscar Sanchez, took charge and secured the team's first win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Alavés. Aguirre has a wealth of experience in Spanish football, having managed several clubs including Atlético de Madrid, Real Zaragoza, Espanyol Barcelone, Leganés, and Majorque. His most recent success came as the manager of the Mexican national team during the World Cup this summer, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by England.
